In a formal court filing on October 29, 2025, Michael Ramacciotti denied conspiring with tech YouTuber Jon Prosser to steal Apple’s trade secrets. He admitted to accessing an Apple development iPhone and showing Prosser some pre-release iOS 26 features over FaceTime.
However, Prosser claimed that the $650 payment he later received wasn’t part of any deal. Ramacciotti insisted that the payment was unrelated to their interactions.
